I remember working with June as a volunteer at the feminist bookshop in Eastwood while in my teens. I loved being there and being with her, she opened my eyes, my heart and my mind. I recall opening boxes of books from overseas that were not available anywhere in Australia, and the bookshop was so much more than a shop. It was a lifeline and a hub. Vale June and thanks for being so wonderful and such a delight. Jo

June James 1927-2008. The following is a modified version of a eulogy in honour, celebration and farewell of a woman, mother, sister and friend. A strong woman who struggled for much of her life with her place as a woman in our world; who struggled with men and their relationship to women, yet who found love, companionship and support with the man she married. A woman who contributed substantially to the dissemination of feminist thinking in the Sydney region and wider circles, and who continued in later years to explore women
